I am posting this for sale as I’m in the planning stages for doing an 818, so it is with mixed emotions that I let this go, but it is time to move ahead and I’m sure someone else will be very happy with it.
Titled and registered in Illinois as 1965 Factory Five Roadster. VIN #F5R1006071RD
Price drop to $21,500; Located in Frankfort, IL (southwest suburb of Chicago)
----------SOLD------------
The car was competed in 2007 using a 1990 Mustang GT as the donor for the engine, rear axle, and various other bits. Certain major components, including the radiator, transmission, master cylinder, and fuel pump have been replaced during or since the build with new or professionally rebuilt items.
Factory Options (some of these were added after the initial build):
Stainless steel side pipes
Powder coated frame (black)
Dual Chrome Rollbars
Chrome over-riders
Koni Rear coil-overs
Kirkey high back seats
Autometer Ultra-Lite Gauges
Wind Wings
Visors
Heater
Wipers
Battery Cutoff Switch
Other details and upgrades:
Motor is 5.0L from 1990 Mustang GT – approx. 110k miles (~10k since transplant). Runs fantastic and sounds great.
2.73 rear axle
T-5 Transmission
Rear disc brake conversion
Stainless steel braided brake lines
Steering rack recently upgraded to Manual Rack
Rollbar trim rings, Under Dash Filler Panel, Steering Hole Trim Plate, Shifter trim ring and boot from ReplicaParts.com
Amp in trunk and 2 speakers. Amp has lead to the cockpit for aux jack. Works great with smartphone, but would be easily updated with a regular head unit if you so choose.
Extras included: Extra set of uncoated side pipes; full set of uncoated quick jacks
Custom car cover from Covercraft
Various small parts I have will all be included (passenger side mirror, extra filters, etc, etc)
Issues:
-I did the paint job myself 7 years ago. It is very durable, but certainly not a show finish (Color is Grigio Titanio – paint code 3238). If you are looking for something to take to the track or on road trips, you may want to leave as is, but if you are looking for a show car, probably best to just consider this car as unpainted.
- I am in the midst of switching from the standard parking brake location to mounting it on the transmission tunnel. Depending on feedback, I will either stop immediately for you to put back to stock or I will finish the project (I haven’t cut anything up yet, so easy to go back to stock). I will include all parts necessary to finish either way if you want to conquer this small project yourself. (copying dv/dt ‘s method - http://www.ffcars.com/forums/17-factory-five-roadsters/239176-p-brake-mods-post-them-here.html#post2153987 )
-5 point Simpson Harness is the original one from when I built the car. If you are going to do anything that requires dated belts, I believe you would need to replace.
If I had to summarize everything, I would just say this car is for someone that is going to use it. I’ve put over 10,000 trouble free miles on it, including 2 trips to London, OH and a trip up into Northern Michigan and it has been amazing. As mentioned above, don’t expect to be blown away by the paint job, and there is plenty of room for small projects, but you could start driving this on day 1 without any regrets and decide over the course of the summer if you want to upgrade anything over the winter.
Thanks in advance for your interest. If you want to see additional photos, or have any questions, feel free to let me know.
